Connection and
Usage Examples
Figure 3 on the following page shows you how to connect to the SB Live! card (with the Optical
Digital I/O card and Digital I/O Module) for playing games and music, watching DVD movies and
playing DVD games, and for recording and content authoring. The Cambridge SoundWorks
FourPointSurround and DeskTop Theater 5.1 speaker systems are used in these examples.
The following are some notes regarding these connections:
Playing Games and
Music
❑
Experience crystal clear gaming sequences or music from the Digital DIN connection.
Watching DVD Movies
or Playing DVD Games
❑
If you wish to connect your Encore Dxr2, Encore Dxr3 or MPEG2 decoder card to an external
Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder such as DeskTop Theater speaker systems, disconnect the Sound
Blaster Live! card’s Aux In connector from the decoder card’s Audio Out connector. However, if
an external Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder speaker system is not available, this connection is
necessary.
Recording and Content
Authoring
❑
External digital recording can be done via the Digital I/O Module.
❑
A second analog Line In on the Optical Digital I/O card allows you to connect to another input
device (e.g., a portable CD player) for recording.
